  No proper note but it is still drinking very well. Probably best drunk soonish, though

  A dark and beautiful red pushing on purple. After a 2-3 hour pour, the nose is of plums and spices and sweetness. The wine is drinking well now, wonderfully smooth with velvet tannins and medium acidity. Served at ~65 the wine blossoms and any heat moderated. I taste dark berries and some flowing earthy tones. It might get somewhat better, but no need to wait.

  Three hour decant, a wonderful nose filled with cherry notes and interesting scrub/forest floor odors. The palate was on point balanced, with a richness that brought it up to the next level.

  drinking beautifully, with classic southern rhone flavors. Good one to try while waiting for other Chateauneufs to evolve.

  Very nice. Light, semi sweet red fruits, a touch of must or dirt. Great with salmon and continues after dinner.
